TSA asks woman to prove her breast pump is real at Lihue Airport | ksdk.com.

TSA agents would not let Amy Strand onto a plane at Lihue airport in Kauai without proving that her breast pump was real. She was told that the bottles had to be full of milk before she could get on the plane. The woman asked for a private place to pump and they directed her to a public restroom (where Pharmer suspects they might have a camera). The woman had to pump at the sink area in full view of everyone entering and leaving the restroom.

The TSA has responded to the publicity by stating that the agent made a mistake.
